Pauldron of the Horsemen is a piece of level five legendary armor, which boosts all of Death's stats and provides a boost to critical damage. It can be unlocked by any user who played the original Darksiders.

Chaos Fang is a level one legendary weapon, which will boost Death's damage and critical damage stats. It has a steeper unlock requirement, only available to those who completed the first game.

Both items will unlock based on a player's achievements or trophies, so a Darksiders save file is not required. This also means that the items will only be available to the account that unlocked the necessary achievements or trophies.

The story of Darksiders 2 will run parallel to that of the first Darksiders game. Players will take on the role of the horseman Death as he travels through the Abyss to redeem his brother War and undo the apocalypse.
